Many materials involved in manufacturing, handling, and using microelectronic parts easily become electrostatically charged when rubbed. If charged surfaces come near static-sensitive devices, the ...

It is known that aircraft in flight charge electrostatically due to triboelectric contact with precipitation, cross fields, and ionization in engines. This charging can create broadband radio ...

Electrostatic adsorption is an important complement to mechanical filtration for high-efficiency air filtering in the use of face masks. However, the electrostatic charge of the filters decays over ...

A new electrostatic de-icing technique that exploits the natural charge separations in growing frost crystals has been developed by Jonathan Boreyko and colleagues at Virginia Tech in the US. The team ...

Several mutations in the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Omicron spike protein cause additional positive surface charges compared to the reference spike protein (from the ...
